I was just about to tell him to get the welder out. haha What is the web address for ozdat??????????

Apologies in advance for digging up an old thread, but I would be very interested to know where to get a hard tray cover for my ute.

Either that, or just a flat one would do.

Has anyone purchased one, or had one made?

Cheers.

I priced one from Tuff Torneau in Melb about 6 months ago they said & about $950.00

I'd make it yourself....depends on if you want steel or not.... but its pretty easy...

Measure up the sizes...go to a local steel workshop...they'll probably weld up the frame in gal for about $200.....

Then get some steel sheet, about 1.2mm thick, get it cut to size on a guillotine (maybe same shop), use some special metal bonding glue and your done....

Then go to the wreckers, get some bonnet hinges, and if you really want, a lock....while you are there, pick up some rear wagon gas struts....

If you can weld yourself this wouldn't cost more than $200 total...

I am going to make it from fibre glass. Ill make up a wood platform that sits just under the lip of the traysides. I think you would need 4 or 5 layers of glass if you put a steel/ally cross underneath it. Probably some rubber on the front side to seal against the cab and some racer boy bonnet pops so you can lock it. I Reckon it would work.

take it easy crew
